Now in its 27th year, the Hope in Motion Walk event continues to raise the funds necessary to provide a broad range of supportive services at no charge to Stamford Health’s Bennett Cancer Center patients. These services include programs such as: post treatment exercise, nutrition counseling, rides to and from treatment, daily lunches to patients undergoing chemotherapy, food cards for patients coping with food insecurity and grants to help patients in financial need with non- medical expenses.

I am forever grateful for those who have supported me and my family over the years, and especially through my cancer diagnosis and treatment. Survivorship is a complicated experience and these supportive services make a huge difference for patients. Hope in Motion is one of my favorite ways to give back to the cancer community and to celebrate National Survivor's Day each year.
